In this case, rather than going to sealed bids, a public auction would have been much fairer, and might actually have raised the council more money.
Good luck, if you decide to go for it.

Thats how I took it sounded a bit of a con.
The property would NEED a survey as its a large house thats been empty for some time.
TBH I will probably give it a miss or just put in a low offer and keep my fingers crossed.
Wonder who has acess to the envelopes before the draw.
